I know the Pinta is not a latin rigged vessel but is very similar to the Nina which was originally built as such. Hence the first question. Did you drafted your own plans? If you did I would like very much if there is a book of reference from which I can do the same for a latin rigged caravel.

May you have a great day, Mike.

Mike41Hi Argat1,
I used the book ‘The ships of Christopher Columbus’ by Xavier Pastor for the reference material for my drawing and build of the Pinta. You can search the web for lateen rigged ships and adapt what you find to the Pinta.

Good day to you, Mike41. Zoltán from the Ships of Scale forum on Facebook gave me the link to your postings about the Pinta caravel here so I joined and thus I'm writing to you with some questions on that regard. First of all I have never built a ship other than kits but now I want to escalate to a higher level of skill and a caravel seems a good option for several reasons but especially because I like latin rigs.
